I was outside today in the sweltering heat taking a few pictures and had some real fun with an iron bed frame. Yes, this is going into my house as soon as I get the room painted. So what do you think of my new header? Of course, I started messing around with the new designer templates, chose one, not sure I like it. I read the message about saving your entire blog, but didn't, hmm, so there's no going back now. Change is good- right? For now, stay happy and cool.

Don't you just love old shabby, chippy, pink paint on a dresser, or how cuddly it looks in a pieced quilt? I love it. It reminds me of summer, roses and comfort. Well, I just listed some pink things and they are both included in a beautiful treasury on Etsy. If you like the color pink and roses don't miss this one.

This is quite coincidental. I am working away at my Etsy shop listing a few 1970's things like a bright yellow fondue pot and a bright orange trimline phone when sweet Kate from, OrganicOdysseys adds my vintage rolodex to a treasury about vintage communication called, "Call me..." Too funny.

You need to click on the link below to see all of the fun stuff. Ahh, brings back memories of the party line and talking to my first boyfriend about grade school. My dad would get this half serious, half clown look on his face and say, "Patty, it's a boy!" Our monster black rotary phone would get heavy after a while and I'd say good-bye.

Enjoy your visit.

My blog is about...

the evolution of a cottage in a rural village in Idaho, homely refered to as, "The Coop." Follow along the journey of a one-woman-show, with loads of imagination, two-hands, power tools, and true-grit, to see this thing called, "living through renovation" happen, one board, tile, shovel full of dirt, at a time.

"I Dream in Vintage"

I am an old fashioned country girl, with a pinch of new age sassiness. Anything that reminds me of my childhood, growing up on a farm, rings my bells! Green, white, chippy, peeling paint, rust, tattered quilts, old china, make me smile. Chickens... did anybody say chickens? I love them. I simply dream in vintage and my name is, Patty.
